I have studied philosophy in Utrecht, finishing my bachelor's in 2008 and my master's cum laude in 2010. From March 2010 until June 2014, I worked, in the context of Prof.dr. Thomas Müller's ERC Starting Grant project "Indeterminism Ltd., an intervention on the free will debate", on my dissertation, Conceptual Realism, on the structure of metaphysical thought, in which I defend an Aristotelian version of conceptual realism, with special focus on (anti)realism, individuation, essence, time, modality, causality, and life. I defended my dissertation cum laude on June 18, 2014. Subsequently, I worked as a postdoc at the computer science department, in the context of Prof.dr. Jan Broersen's ERC Consolidator Grant project "Responsible Intelligent Systems". My research there focused on collective action and collective responsibility. Since 2016, I am assistant professor at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. My philosophical interest centers on the 'resurrection' of German Idealist thought within the analytic philosophical tradition, and spans issues in metaphysics, philosophy of logic, philosophy of biology, philosophy of mind, and action theory. How these various fields hang together was the topic of my NWO-funded research project entitled "Unifying Metaphysical Pluralism" (2017–2021).
